CV and driveshaft refitting

Recommended Posts

OK can someone help before i lose my mind.

 

ive done quite a bit of work to the car and had everything stripped in the drivers side wheel arch - hub, brakes, strut, track rods - so all that was left was the driveshaft with outer cv staring at me. I unbolted the inner CV from the gearbox but then trying to pull the whole thing out via the wheel arch was a no go because the gap between car and subframe is too small to fit the inner or outer CV through.

 

so i took the outer cv off and slid the assembly back through the gap under the car to get it off

 

then i faffed like a noob trying to get stuff off then back on with my new cv boots and rebuilt the whole assembly and only realised lying in bed last night i will have to take one end apart again to refit it the same way i removed it.

 

unless im missing something - can i jack the engine up on the drivers side to create enough clearance to get it in there ?? :scratch:

I got my drive shafts through. they went in towards the gearbox if that makes sense? so you want to feed the shaft through from the GB side towards your wheel.......
